Atmosphere: the coffee and cookies and friendly staff made it a welcoming and enjoyable environment. It definitely had a nifty 50s vibe, but it wasn't off putting. Performance: Clue the musical had a campy and fun feel to it. The performances by Mrs. Peacock and Col. Mustard were engaging but some of the other cast crossed over the campy line and went to lame. I admire the passion and dedication of local theater and encourage others to go.

Catch is... their exclusivity. From 7:30AM to 3:00PM Monday through Friday they are open to the public. For a limited time they have Preview Access on which is open to the public as well around 5:00PM. Therefore, if you are not a member or don't have a friend who is member... you know what to do.

First…read moreoff the service it was awful, Heather was not busy enough to be so rude, I kept my composure they brought out food, the fries were undercooked, my Philly was loaded with more peppers then meat, we ordered the 2 78.99 deals for game cards and a 14.99 card deal. What a joke. My bread was so tough I couldn't even bite into it, it was awful. I asked for a side of mayo, she didn't tell me there was a charge. 59c check your bill. She came to run my card, notification card was charged 195.00 then she claims there was an error by now the manager also not so pleasant has come to table oh and was only offered a free dessert which was cold and the ice cream was freezer burnt, by now my daughter left to play games while I figure out the bs with the bill. Again it wasnt declined it was an error, again it came out if my account, now we cant leave the table without her holding a cc, nope sorry u got paid now and hour has passed,the gm guy comes out my husband and gone to find my daughter he came back pissed they tried to write down my full cc number made me repay this time in cash because they had an error what would someone do if they didnt have 400 and had already been charged 195 and the charge didn't fall off. You holding them is against the law so is not disclosing upcharges like flipping Mayo, Stay away. The gm did offer us some free game cards by now the night has been ruined, everyone was angry tired and out 400.00 I have filed thru the website submitted the receipts and proof. I will be expecting a full refund cash and card if I have to drive there myself. AVOID THIS PLACE HEATHER IS A SCAMMER ADDS EXTRA CHARGES WITHOUT TELLING YOY EXPECTS TO BE TIPPED OUT FOR SLIDING A CARD AND SERVING UNACCEPTABLE FOOD. NO SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED.

We perused around the general store for a bit before grabbing some freshly made (weekends only) cider donuts. Oh my gosh! They were delicious. I should've grabbed another bag before I headed out! Next went in the neighboring room for a couple hard cider flights, bag of donuts in hand. We sampled every cider on the menu. Each of them were crisp, clean, tasty, and hit the spot! I think my favorite was the ginger, and his was the pear. We sat inside because it was rainy, but there is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy tastings. I definitely want to come back with a cooler so I am able to leave with a stash of goodies, and to check out the rest of the grounds- and for more donuts!! Go check out Bennett Orchard, it's a perfect Sunday drive.

This is the only orchard I know of that sells hard cider with a little lounge area. Even though I don't drink, this is a great hang out/ get together spot for sure, especially if you're into the rustic, farm vibe. They have a hay pile for the kids and a little area to play around as well as a good sized seating area outside with shade. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures but worth a stop especially to meet the wonderful, friendly staff that work there!

I had never heard of Forte School prior to 2015. It was just another music school to a guy who…read morewouldn't know any better. I sought out wanting piano lessons for my son and I just assumed all schools would be the same. I was directed to Forte because of reviews of my friends'. Upon entering the school, I was impressed, I must admit. But honestly, it's not like I had other music schools to compare it to. The first instructor we had was young, a little wet behind the ears, but a knowledgeable instructor. After the first year, we switched to a more seasoned teacher, much like any student would in regular school. My thought was to have as rounded an education for my son as possible. But this is where it gets real. Our new teacher, Sy Winnie, was from another planet. He didn't just instruct well because he is the greatest piano player I've ever personally witnessed, but he related to my son on a personal level. My son wanted to talk about his piano teacher WELL after the lesson was over and I knew something magical was happening. After the second year, I noticed my son's skills becoming remarkably noticeable and random strangers would comment. He began playing public pianos in different cities we would vacation in, and people even began to tip him! As the years went on, my son has developed such a strong skill in music that it extended not only to him joining the band in middle school and high school, but it actually bettered his academics as well! Music education develops pathways in the brain that normal students never develop which enhance the learning curve on any subject. My son is now in high school, has a 4.0 school average and his musicianship has never been better. His youtube videos of his piano playing has even been watched by thousands. When the quarantine hit, I thought this would slow his music education or even ruin it. But, the owner of the school called me directly to tell me he didn't want to lose him as a student. They set up lessons via tablet-technology and continued regardless of distance. This school doesn't just teach. It cares. I honestly think it changed not only my son's life, but indirectly, mine too.
